========
The Judgement card is “choices and their inevitable consequences coming due.”
The cosmos is calling and you have to answer. It’s a call to something greater. You have to act. You need to make a decision. Unlike the Justice card, this decision is a mix of logic and intuition.
Your past is behind you. All your past experiences are learned. All regrets and wrongdoings are processed.
Any choice you make is going to have a huge, long-lasting effect.
Trust your judgement and know you’re on the right path.
========
James Fucking Holden, my man. The top is the video still from episode 1x02 “The Big Empty” where he sent out that fateful message about the Canterbury. He pressed the button. And there his life of lazy drifting turned into answering the call.
The bottom is his final act, becoming one with the Ring Station to help save everyone. The halo-arc of protomolecule crowns him; since it’s a curvy protomolecule dot it means the “natural” protomolecule - as opposed to the human-engineered protomolecule.

by Naomi Shihab Nye
We will call you “Agua” like the rivers and cool jugs.
We will persuade the clouds to nestle around your neck
so you may sleep late.
We would be happy if you slept forever.
We will tend the slopes we plant, singing the songs
our grandfathers taught us before we inherited their fear.
We will try not to argue among ourselves.
When the widow demands extra flour, we will provide it,
remembering the smell of incense on the day of our Lord.
Please think of us as we are, tiny, with skins that burn easily.
Please notice how we have watered the shrubs around our houses
and transplanted the peppers into neat tin cans.
Forgive any anger we feel toward the earth,
when the rains do not come, or they come too much,
and swallow our corn.
It is not easy to be this small and live in your shadow.
Often while we are eating our evening meal
you cross our rooms like a thief,
touching first the radio and then the loom.
Later our dreams begin catching fire around the edges,
they burn like paper, we wake with our hands full of ash.
How can we live like this?
We need to wake and find our shelves intact,
our children slumbering in their quilts.
We need dreams the shape of lakes,
with mornings in them thick as fish.
Shade us while we cast and hook—
but nothing else, nothing else.
Do you think the stars are better if you’re standing
on some precipice of moon? I don’t know, because
in all the movies the first thing they do is turn
their telescope full of eye straight for home, as if
the chance to look back was the only reason they left.
—Kathryn Nuernberger, from “Dear Reader, I’ve Been Preoccupied Lately by My Own Private Business,” Rue
